Dog beds offer a great level of comfort for both the dog owners and the dogs. It prevents dogs from rolling around on your couch or bed and provides a cushioning surface for your dogs to sleep or lie down comfortably. Many dog beds are available in the market based on the needs of the dogs and the dog owners. The criteria that one needs to consider before purchasing a dog bed includes the size of your dog, its age, the type of bed that suits your dog, the ability to clean the bed frequently, the comfort it offers to your dog, the amount of space it occupies in the room, the cost, etc.

Types of dog beds that are available in the market are:

1. Orthopaedic beds - They are best suited for older dogs. They are made up of thick polyurethane foam and memory foam therefore reduces any kind of strain or pressure on the joints. The outer covering of the foam can be removed and washed.
